…Oh hey, guys. Remember that Mango update for Rainbow Rapture we’ve been promising? Didn’t you hear? We released it last week! Here’s what WPCentral had to say about it: **SPOILER ALERT** We love you!

In this very special Mango flavored update we:

  • Added fast app switching so you can check that text without losing your place.
  • Slathered on some Mango butter and improved the framerate.
  • Added a live tile to help you keep track of your carnage.
  • Added more levels to the end so those leaderboard high scores can keep growing.
  • Added special ringtones and wallpapers for paying members of the Rainbow nation.
  • And we fixed a leaderboard crash bug. Because even we make mistakes.

Our first update for Rainbow Rapture is now live! Here’s a list of all the stuff we did:

  • We saw that many of you thought Rainbow was too floaty, so we threw a few extra pounds on him. He should feel much faster and more responsive now. Try out the new tuning and let us know what you think.
  • We’re pretty sure we’ve fixed the mystery loading crash, but if you still see it, please give us all the details you can.
  • We got rid of the teeny mile markers that were cluttering up the place. Instead, we left it to Rainbow to shout out your distance every 50 miles — because if there’s one thing that Rainbow likes almost as much as eating people, it’s shouting.
  • We made the UI buttons feel more button-y.
  • We fixed a little visual bug with the SFX meter that an eagle-eyed reviewer noticed — Thanks Blooded Cat!
  • …And we cleaned up a few other little odds and ends.

Now that we’ve got that out of our system, we’re busy working on our next update. I’ll give you a sneak peek:

That’s right. Prepare to be challenged.

So Rainbow Rapture’s been out for a week now, and much like Rainbow himself, we’ve had our ups and downs. Or as I put it earlier in the week:

On the downside, a handful of you have reported a mystery crash where the game won’t load. This has been incredibly frustrating to track down — we’re still not sure why it’s only happening to some of you and we’ve never been able to recreate the crash ourselves. However, after a good deal of teeth-gnashing and code-flailing, we think we’ve tracked it down. We’ll have an update ready to go to certification in the next couple of days, so with luck we’ll get it approved quickly and be ready to push out the update by next weekend.

On the upside, seeing everyone’s marketplace reviews has been awesome! It’s always nice to hear compliments — you guys have made me smile — but it’s also really motivating to hear back on exactly what kind of changes and extras you want to see. I already have too many favorite quotes to post here. Point is, we’ve heard you, and we’ve got some things in store that should make you happy. Thanks for the feedback! And don’t be a stranger now, you hear?
